Women in Green GA Editathon June 2024 - Going Back in Time[edit]

Hello Chiswick Chap:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in June 2024!

Running from June 1 to 30, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Going Back in Time! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 20 centuries by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

Correction Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon[edit]

Do you can change it, please? I can not.

Laburnum in Tolkien[edit]

Dear Chiswick Chap,

I have recently read an essay on The Lord of The Rings which dealt with Frodo's plot arc, and identified his personal climax as the Field of Cormallen. It made much of the ring of laburnums around that location. Despite searching many relevant journals (I don't think it was a blog post, but I can't be certain) I have failed to identify it. I wonder if you have read it, and if so can you bring the source to mind?

And while I am here, thank you for your continuing work on all articles Tolkien and Middle-earth. I am delighted by both your scholarship and your energy!

I have found it here: 'Peak Middle-earth' by Michael Ward. It is a blog post, which I copied, but failed to recognise it from the filename, because I omitted the sub-title. -- Verbarson ^talk_edits 17:15, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Laburnums, hmm. They do sound suburban, wonder why T chose those. Peak for Frodo ... hmm, well, yes, it was peak happiness, all downhill after that (and mostly downhill before that, actually). Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:51, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
